Hello, I am interested in setting up a wireless network for my PC and Mac.
Currently my PC is connected to the internet via a wireless router (ethernet connection) and my Mac is connected to the internet via the wireless router via Airport,
would it be possible to create a network between my mac and PC?

For mac go to System Preferences > Sharing > and all your file share options are in there !
